[Questions] Esports Website WordPress or headless with plans for an App

Hello Everyone, I have some questions regarding a website i am working on which will be mainly about Esports and Gaming. The website will have an App on android and Iphone as well as some dynamic parts. so i was thinking about the best way to make it. I am not really a full fletched dev but i am well informed and have background in UI/UX as my main job is Design as an Art Director. so the questions are :

1. should i Make the website in WordPress CMS or go the new way of Headless CMS such as Next and Nuxt and Gatsby as i read that Headless is the way to go when it comes to scalability.
2. netlify or contentful as the CMS? I want something that's not expensive with prices similar to normal hosting
3. I want to make an app out of it so i've read that going a headless cms that's based on Reactive such as Gatsby or Vue will make the conversion a lot easier
4. I want the website to have match/round results something like this which i know is possible by API but is there some app or plugin that can make api into a design like this or it have to be coded fully?
   
   

Thanks for taking time to reading my questions and thank you even more for this community of great helping people. have a nice one everyone!

1. Go with the most comfortable with you. With WP you can make up something fast, but is not super-scalable. But since most projects will never scale because they will end being mediocre, 99% of the time is a wise choice to go with WP
2. If you go with WP it can be your CMS. If you want to run another CMS go which ever you prefer. In fact you could run a headless WP for a free CMS for a different lang and I've seen some pages that do such.
3. WP can work both in headless and regular mods AT THE SAME TIME. Still if you use any other CMS, I would create a progressive app with Vue or React following all SEO guidelines for the web (mostly regarding URL formation) and then I would use such PWA to create the app with whatever system you prefer (personally I like React Native, but you can perfectly go with Ionic)
4. If you don't have great frontend skils as it happens to me, I would go straight with repeaters and a builder with WP.

Concluding, from what I read, I think that WP is more than enough for you. Unless you are a high skilled full-stack developer, I think that you won't have the time to make such project work in all aspects (both developing + promoting in any sense)

Have you tried sportspress? There are a lot of themes integrated with it too.
